About
In the Baroque musical landscape, Pygmalion is one of the major revelations of these last few years.
In the tradition of the greatest conductors, Raphaël Pichon, has realized one of the most accomplished cycles of the ‘five’ Missae Breves, including the Mass in B minor in its original ‘brief’ version of 1733.
On the occasion of the ensemble’s first opera release, Alpha is offering you the opportunity to (re)discover the complete cycle at a special price.

Awards and reviews
March 2014
While several one-to-a-part readings can bring a chamber-like intimacy, you get the best of all worlds here: red-blooded warmth, intense coloration, grandeur and crackling vigour and not a scintilla of mannered-ness...this is a Bach project of the highest calibre.
